duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning

military, ground, naval, or air service.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

Because we do business with the government, we must reach out to, hire, and provide
equal opportunity to qualified people with disabilities1. To help us
measure how well we are doing, we are asking you to tell us if you have a disability or
if you ever had a disability. Completing this form is voluntary, but we hope that you
will choose to fill it out. If you are applying for a job, any answer you give will be
kept private and will not be used against you in any way.

If you already work for us, your answer will not be used against you in any way.
Because a person may become disabled at any time, we are required to ask all of our
employees to update their information every five years. You may voluntarily
self-identify as having a disability on this form without fear of any punishment
because you did not identify as having a disability earlier.

How do I know if I have a disability?

You are considered to have a disability if you have a physical or mental impairment or

history or record of such an impairment or medical condition.
